Aryaman

Aryaman ( Skt. अर्यमन् ) (“friendliness, hospitality”) is one of the early Vedic deities .

Aryaman - Aditya , the solar deity. His way is the Milky Way . Aryaman is a form of Surya , the god of the Sun. He supports the conscious nature of the Sun in fulfilling its dharma - time management. Aryaman is the culmination of two dhatu: Aha and Yama . Aha symbolizes the unit of time, and Yama is the steward. As the creator of day and night, Aryaman (the Sun) controls the movement of time. This is an example of the full implementation of their duties . During the Hindu wedding ceremony, Aryaman is called to witness. Aryaman is mentioned in the Rig Veda about 100 times (most often with Mitra and Varuna ).

Aryaman - the keeper of the Aryan society, he monitors the strength of the various bonds that unite members of the Aryan societies. He patronizes marriages, hospitality, free movement on roads, rituals of Aryans, gifts and mutual offerings. Later literature speaks of the activities of Aryaman in another world and its connection with the departed ancestors.

Aryaman, like Bhaga , is a deity very close to Mithra, and even taking on some of its functions, with the only difference being that Aryaman is responsible for social welfare, and Bhaga is for the fair distribution of goods.
